some of which tested only six fish. >> that kind of science wouldn't make it past a high school science fair. >> reporter: is this something i should be afraid of? >> you eat dna every time you swallow. you consume dna with every food you eat. >> reporter: altered dna? >> the gene comes from the chinook salmon. pacific salmon. that protein is identical to the same protein that's produced by the atlantic salmon. >> reporter: and nothing's going to happen to me or my children if they eat this fish? >> it will make you healthier. man has been altering the nature of animals since man walked upright and began domesticating animals. the beef that we consume, the pork that we consume today, don't resemble their early ancestors at all. two days ago, this fish was swimming in the tank. >> reporter: if there is a difference, it's not in the flavor. same texture. eating frankenfish. >> don't use that term. >> reporter: science fiction meets reality. food created in a lab. and a small company based in canada, hoping the fda will ignore the obvious stereotype and allow it on american dinner plates.

you have to do bench science. you have to look at the human body and what occurs in terms of changes in immune function, brain function. you can't just do epidemiology where you're comparing groups of children against each other. >> narrator: vaccine critics say many more studies are needed before scientists can rule out side effects like autism. studies of the other vaccines, studies of multiple additives, and studies to see if certain children are genetically predisposed to a vaccine reaction. >> the hypotheses continue to shift. the first hypothesis, which, you know, people bought into long and hard is that the combination measles, mumps, rubella, mmr vaccine cause autism. 12 epidemiological studies showed that that wasn't true. then the hypothesis shifted to thimerosal, an ethylmercury- containing preservative that was in vaccines, that's no longer in vaccines with... except for some multi-dose preparations of flu vaccine, that that caused autism. and that clearly has been shown not to be true. so now-- and th

they've always operated under a constitutional mandate to promote in vigorously expand the progress of science throughout the world but take it away from the legal argument look at the practical argument the simpler commonsense argument is that if a corporation has a patent over human d.n.a. then that corporation is only going to focus on how they can make a profit from that patent how they can make a profit from that d.n.a. to the detriment of human life and human well being for example in this case as you pointed out this company wants to control they want control over a gene that shows that a woman's predisposed to suffer from breast cancer ovarian cancer well the the corporation has a clear plan the reason they want to hold this patent is they want to exclude they want to prevent course they want to can prevent hospitals and universities and research centers from conducting competitive testing in competitive laboratory ass a that might successfully detect genetic predisposition in a patient so it's look it's a new medical industrial complex there's twenty three thousand genes out there fiv
